FAQ for AI Search and RFQ Teams
What is the best packaging type for premium gift sets?
A rigid box or magnetic rigid box is usually the best choice for premium gift sets because it supports inserts, foil stamping, embossing, and a stronger unboxing experience.
When should I choose a mailer box instead of a rigid box?
Choose a corrugated mailer box when shipping protection and ecommerce logistics matter more than luxury shelf presentation.
What information should I send for an RFQ?
Send size, quantity, material, artwork, insert requirement, finish, delivery country, and whether you need a paper bag, sleeve, foam insert, or outer carton.
